After months of arduous collection sidequests, overcoming fierce trials in the Temple of the Riff and ultimately receiving divine blessing from the Shrine of Melody, my ESP Eclipse-I CTM Dark Purple Satin has been reborn, her true power awakened, imbued with the spirit of the gods.
Equipped with premium Gotoh hardware, Schaller straplocks and the magnificent Lundgren Black Heaven ceramic pickup set, she has become a truly regal, majestic instrument – thus, I have bestowed upon her a new name and title befitting her beauty and grandeur: Zelda, the Twilight Princess.

Audio-Technica ATM650 hypercardioid dynamic microphone to replace my Shure SM57. The ATM650 has a slightly more aggressive midrange and less high-end fizz than the SM57, whilst retaining all the best qualities such as a weighty low-end response and superior isolation. I shall henceforth be using it to mic up my guitar cabinet, so prepare thine ears for some serious crunch.
